"I remembered that night."

I heard this without any surprise. Looking at her eyes that were already crying red and swollen, my heart was constantly being stinged - I knew that the blow to her that night was that I should have faced her with the greatest tenderness and tolerance, and helped her face what happened that night.

But now, she is like a child who has done something wrong, standing in front of me and enduring it alone.

Perhaps, as Pei Yuanhao said, his daughter and I should be the strongest in the world, and she should have to bear everything, even those that ordinary people cannot bear.

But, there was still a pain in my heart.

My voice couldn't help but soften, looking at her red eyes: "What did you see that night?"

At this time, Miaoyan stopped crying, but I could see her body trembling violently, as if she had just returned to that night.

|

The river wind and lights seemed to be reflected red, and the noise of gongs and drums on the boat also resounded throughout the Yangtze River.

She avoided everyone and the excitement on the deck. She walked through the bead curtain alone to the back hall. She took her gift to meet her aunt, the woman who was about to marry her third uncle.

I could understand her mood that night, the kind of pain that was not wounded, but it was constantly hurt. The whole world was laughing, but there was a villain who was crying desperately in his heart, in the dungeon without seeing the light.

However, when she knocked on the door of the new house, she smiled.

She smiled at the bride who was walking towards her, wearing red makeup, although her tears had already made her whole body tremble.

She said: "I wish you a happy marriage."

Pei Yuanzhen probably never thought that one day she would face her, her niece, whom she had never met, so when she opened the door of the new house, she was completely stunned when she saw this girl. She didn't speak for a long time. After a long silence, she tentatively said: "You are, Miaoyan?"

"Yes, aunt, I'm Miaoyan."

"How could you-"

Pei Yuanzhen looked at her and was at a loss. She immediately raised her head and looked behind her. She thought that she should be looking for me and thought I was following Miaoyan. But at this time, Miaoyan quietly said to her: "Aunt, I came alone. I came here specially to give you gifts and wish you and my third uncle."

Pei Yuanzhen almost immediately felt the strange thing in her words.

Sometimes, things in the world are so strange. Maybe two lovers may not be able to have such a sympathy, but there is such a subtle sympathy between the two lovers. When Pei Yuanzhen looked down at her again, a hint of caution appeared in her obvious eyes.

She thought for a while before saying, "Come in."

So Miaoyan entered the new house.

The new house, candlesticks, wedding couplets, and beds with red curtains, are all so brilliant, making her feel like she has entered a fiery world. There should be a couple of newcomers here to welcome their beautiful days in the future. She, with a pale face, is an intruder and looks so abrupt.

Pei Yuanzhen closed the door and turned around to look at her.

She walked up to her, looked up at the beautiful and charming bride tonight. Her red dress was like a flame, which made her eyes full of tears, but she still smiled and said to her: "Aunt, you must be kind to your third uncle... You must treat him well..."

Pei Yuanzhen was frozen there.

This is a simple sentence, and maybe she has told herself this countless times, so she is willing to be injured and die for him.

But now, this sentence was said in the mouth of a little girl, and she looked at her with a smile with a smile on her with such a desperate look.

Pei Yuanzhen was silent for a long time before saying to her: "Of course I will."

“…”

"I will give him everything that everyone wants to treat him."

“…”

"Including your..."

“…”

"include--"

Before she could finish this sentence, she heard a very light knock on the door outside.

Perhaps, it was the maid who came to serve her to clean her clothes.

Maybe it was the groom who came to find her and asked her to go to the wedding banquet together.

Pei Yuanzhen's eyes were a little flustered, and she was also a little flustered.

She wanted to talk to the bride and give her a gift, but she was not ready to see the groom. She was even afraid that she would meet the two of them at this time, wearing the same bright red clothes and standing in front of her, like a pair of beautiful people made of heaven and earth.

So, she instinctively took a step back.

Pei Yuanzhen also realized this immediately. She looked at her, then looked behind her again, and in the small corner behind the bed, she said in a low voice that she could hardly hear: "You go there first."

So, Miaoyan retreated there.

Then, she heard Pei Yuanzhen walking over.

Then, she heard the sound of opening the door.

Then, she heard...

She heard a scream, but before she could say anything, she was covered by her mouth. Through the fiery red curtain, she saw the fiery red figure staggering back step by step, like a helpless doll, struggling to control her line, and persisting at the last moment.

Then, the wire broke.

She saw the figure falling down dejectedly, and also saw Pei Yuanzhen's chest with a knife, and blood gushing out around her. However, she couldn't tell it clearly. At this moment, her eyes were full of blood-red colors. She didn't even know that what flowed out of her chest turned out to be blood.

She just saw a face after Pei Yuanzhen fell down.

Familiar, young, with a hint of panic.

As soon as he let go of the knife in his hand, he saw the bride in front of him fall down dejectedly. Unpredictable, his eyes passed through the bed behind Pei Yuanzhen and the blood-red bed curtain, and saw a blurry figure.

At this moment, she and him were both stupid.

At this moment, he suddenly seemed to hear something, looked back in panic, looked at her again, and finally gritted his teeth, turned around and ran out.

At this moment, she could not hear anything. In this fiery room, she could only hear her violent heartbeat and a burst of tides. I don’t know whether it was the tide on the river outside or the rushing blood in her body, but in the next moment, they all returned to silence.

Because, she saw several people walking in from outside.

These people were still wondering why the door of the bridal chamber was wide open, and she had heard a person's voice from the quietness, which only pierced into her heart.

She heard the man shouting—"Yuanzhen!"

The man rushed in and rushed to the side of the bride who was lying on the ground. He hugged her in horror and shouted her name loudly. The maids following him all screamed in fear and ran out one after another.

In the new house, they were the only ones left, and she.

Through the blood-red curtain, she watched him hug his bride tightly, the woman covered in blood, twitching and struggling, as if she could no longer breathe. In the end, she did nothing, just lay in his arms, raised her head, and looked at him.

Looking at the horror and despair in his eyes, the expression of pain.

Maybe, I am afraid that I will lose sight of it in the next moment.

Maybe, she really couldn't see it. She had shed too much blood, her body slowly became cold, and her pupils slowly dissipated. She could no longer see the expression of the person in front of her, nor could she see him in pain for her. She could only use all her strength to lift her blood-filled hand and reach out to his face.

At this moment, he shouted her name in pain.

"Yuanzhen,Yuanzhen!"

"Qinghan..."

"Who is it? Who hurts you?"

"I……"

"Tell me quickly!"

"I...I don't know..."

“…”

"I don't know that person."

He looked at her in a panic, his eyes full of helplessness and despair, especially when he saw the wound on her chest, he seemed to be holding her and sinking into the cold river. He didn't even dare to look at her wound for a second time. He could only look at her eyes firmly and said hard: "Yuanzhen, look at me and listen to me!"

“…”

"Don't be afraid, they went to call the doctor. Your emperor brother brought the imperial physician over. They will cure you. Don't be afraid, Yuanzhen, don't be afraid!"

"I'm not afraid..."

"Don't be afraid!"

"I'm not afraid..."

He seemed to have lost his mind and could only hold her tightly, repeating meaningless words - in fact, maybe when he saw her lying on the ground and the knife in his chest, he already understood that she would not come back, but at this time, he was still talking nonsense, not knowing whether he was lying to her or himself.

Pei Yuanzhen fell in his arms like this, holding his face with bloody hands: "I'm really not afraid... I'm just a little, a little cold."

When he heard this, he immediately hugged her tighter.

The blood slowly stained his body from her body, and the two of them sat in a pool of blood.

Tears dripped from his eyes and fell on her face, mixing into the mottled blood on her face. I don’t know if it was the temperature of his arms or the temperature brought by this tear, when he asked her if she was still cold, a faint redness actually floated on her pale face, and she smiled: “It’s not cold anymore.”

More tears fell from his eyes.

Then, she said with difficulty: "I'm not cold anymore, but I'm afraid..."

He asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that if I die, I will never see you again. And you, you will never remember me again."
